JOSEPH HUSSONG, OF CAMDEN, NEV JERSEY.

DYElNGn-WICHINE.

SPECIFICATIO forming part of Letters Patent No.776,327, dated November 29, 1904.

Application filed May '7, 1903. Serial No. 156,118. (No model.)

T0 (L7/Z who/1t if; mln/y concern/.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HUssoNG, a citi- Zen of the United States, and a resident of Camden, New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Dyeiiig-lVlachines, ot' which the following is a specilication.

The object of my invention is to improve the constructionof the frames on which'are suspended the hanks of yarn to be dyed in a d yeing-machine, so that the sticks can be readily turned.

My invention is shown in connection with a dye-vat for which Letters Patent were granted to me the 9th day oiu April, 1901, No. 671,799; but it will be understood that my invention can be used in connection with any suitable dye-vat.

1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a dyevat,illus trating my improvement. Fig. 2 is a trans verse sectional view on the line 2 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of part of Fig. 1. Figs.l t and 'are perspective views of the carriers for the sticks, and Figs. 6 and 7 are views oi' portions of Fig. 2 enlarged.

A is the dye-vat, having an end compartment a, in which is a circulatingwheel B, and under the compartment for the hanks of yarn is a circulating-chamber a', so that the dye liquor is kept in constant circulation. VThe partition'b is perforated, as shown. A plain vat may be used in some instances without departing from my invention.

D is the carrying-frame tor the yarn. This frame consists of side members D D2. The side member D', as illustrated in`F ig. 6, consists of two longitudinal bars d ci, secured together at intervals by bolts, while the side member D2 is a single frame. These two frames have extensions e c', which'are coupled to longitudinal bars E E, which are in turn attached to cross-bars E', and on these bars are eyes c2, with which engage the hooks f, carried by thechains F for raising the yarncarrying frame out of the dye liquor.

Extending from one side member to the other is a partition Gr, having a series of per'- orations therein which allow the liquor to pass onto the upper portions of the hanks of yarn. The two longitudinal bars Z d are perforated at intervals and form the bearings for the worm-wheels I, which have extended hubs c' il, mounted in the bearings in the longitudi nal bars (Z d', the teeth of the worm-wheels extending between thc two bars, as illustrated in Fig. 6.

Each worin-wheel is slotted at v' for the re ception otl the end of the sticks a, on which the hanks oi yarn are mounted, as illustrated clearly in Figs. 2 and 1.

vH is a longitudinal shaft ruiming the full length of the trame D and secured to the side member D by bearings 711. On this shaft are worms 7i', which mesh with the worm-wheels 1, as clearlyillustratcd in Fig. 1. One end of the shaft is shaped to lit a suitable handle, so that when the yarn-frame is raised the handle can be applied to turn the shaft H', which will through the medium of the gearing turn the sticks.

. It will be noticed that the worms'are alter-l nately arranged right and left, so that every other stick will turn in one direction, while the others will-turn -in the opposite direction.

The side member D2 is simply a single frame, and mounted in this frame are disks J, each having a flange j at one side, and secured to the disk is a cap-platej2, which holds the disk in position in the side member D, as illustrated in Fig. 7. The disks are slotted at j to receive the ends of the sticks fn. This construction makes a very simple and durable frame in which the sticks can be'readily re- .moved when it is desired to change a batch oi yarn.

It is comparatively light, and there fore can be readily raised and lowered, and the yarn-sticks, which are oblong in crosssection, as shown in Fig. 1, can be readily turned by simply raising the frame partly out of the vat, applying' a handle to the end ot the TOC side member, said wheels and disks being slotted to receive the respective ends of the yarn-sticks, substantially as described.

2. The combination in a yarn-frame for dyeing-machines, of the side members, a perforated partition carried by the side members and extending above the yarn, a series of wheels carried by one side member, revoluble disks having supporting-bearings carried by the other side member, said wheels and disks being slotted for the reception of the respective ends of the dye-sticks, and means for driving the wheels in unison, substantially as described.

3. The combination in a frame for suspending the banks of yarn in a dye-vat, of the side members, one side member made up of two longitudinal perforated bars, a toothed wheel mounted between the bars and having iianges at each side entering the perforations in the bars and slotted to receive one end of a dye-stick, the other side member being a perforated single bar with a slotted disk mounted in the perforations of the bar, substantially as described.

4. The combination in a frame for suspending hanks of yarn in a dye-vat, of two side members, one side member being made up of series of worm-wheels mounted between the bars of one side member and having flanges at each side entering the perforations in the bars, said worm-wheels being slotted to receive one end of the dye-stick, means for supporting the other end of the dye-stick in the other side member of the frame, a shaft, and a series of worms on the shaft meshing with the worm-wheels, substantially as described.

5. The combination in a yarn-frame for dyeing-machines, of the two side members, means for connecting the side members together, worm-wheels carried by one side member, disks carried by the other side member, a worm-shaft, bearings therefor, worms on the shaft meshing with the worm-wheels, the alternate worms being right-handed and the others being left-handed so that when the shaft is turned the alternate wheels will turn in opposite directions, said wheels and disks being slotted, with dye-sticks mounted in the slotted wheels and disks, substantially as described.

n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
